You're assuming Trump will win the election. He won't.
Jesus, why do people forget that Trump lost an election while being president and while trying to tamper with it? What makes you think he will win this time?
Oh, please. If he was an authoritarian, he would behave like Trump or any other authoritarian ruler out there.
Remember when Trump was president? He would kick reporters out of the white house, or tear gas people in front of the white house for a photo op. He said stuff like "I totally won't do this," then the very following day, he would do that. His speech was divisive. Should I go on?
I don't think the point is to laud today's Iran, but to pinpoint that the shit is happening today is consequence of the actions of the U.S. of yesteryear.
So when Americans say "why do they hate us?" it's not really because of their freedoms.
Oh, he remembered. He just thinks he's playing 4D chess by tweeting then deleting because "it doesn't count."
